Research Positions

I'm looking for undergraduate students interested in AI applications to sustainability and resilience to natural disasters to join a new international program in the Spring 2023. See details here.

I'm also looking for Ph.D. students interested in doing research on the following topics:

• Combining representation learning and combinatorial optimization to solve graph problems


• Machine learning applications to cybersecurity

In case you are a prospective Ph.D. student interested in working with me, I recommend you to apply to the Computer Science Ph.D. Program at Rice. This is a strong program with many succesful faculty and a good track record of supporting students (a one-year fellowship is given to all admitted students). Please add my name to your list of potential advisors. During the applications period (after you submit your application) feel free to reach out to me by email. I am not able to interview prospective students before the application process starts. I also apologize for being unable to answer every email about this topic.

I currently don't have any funding resources to support Master's students and also for students from other institutions during summer internships. In case you are able to obtain your own funding, feel free to reach out to me by email.
